ARLISLE INDIAN SHINING STAR ON GEORGIA TECH; UNCLE SAM MAKES SOLDIER-ATHLETES
Guyon, Carlisle Indian, Stars at
Georgia Tech Which May Play Pitt
Glenn Warner, magician of the pig
skin arena, expects to hook up his
I'itt prodigies with Georgia Tech, a
fetun which would draw an awful mob
if it played in the North, for in many
features it represents, witti John
Heisman as coach, the most up-to-date
battling organization we have in the
whol* country. Some of the players
are renowned. Joe Guyon, for ex
unple, ranked now as the best all
round collegiate backfleld man in the
game.
"There is nothing that Guyon can
not do —and do Just a little better
than his rivals." insist the admirers
of the great Indian gridiron athlete.
A year ago Guyon was picked by
many for all-Anterican honors. Some
who followed his performances
through the full season insisted he
was even a greater player than his
teammate. Everett Strupper. the ail-
American concensus. Guyon. with
Strupper. constituted the greatest
scoring pair in football togs a year
ago and the two of thetn ripped to
shreds every line which they faced.
Hut this year Guyon, the only re
maining member of Georgia Tech's
great 1917 backtield. surely has come,
into his own. With Strupper, Hill and
Harlan gone, the brunt of the 19181

THURSDAY F.VENI NG,
Georgia Tech attack has fallen to
Guyon. And the way the Indian has
i responded is a revelation.
Guyon, as swift as the wind, a fear
less player and possessed of prodigi
ous strength, has been an irresistible
force against every line he has charg
ed against. No eleven has been able
to halt him. He has punctured one
line after another with his tremendous
plunges, ran ends in a bewildering
way and handled the forward pass
like a master.
Guyon is in almost every play that<
Georgia Tech makes—a tireless
worker. When not carrying the ball
he usually is heading interference and
when on the defensive, it is his dar
ing tackles thta frequently halt at
tempts of the enemy to race down the
field tqwaTd Georgia Tech's goal line.
Guyon, who is 24 years old. began
his football career at the Carlisle In
dian School, taking a "prep" course
for the engineering work. He is now
studying at Georgia Tech. Guyon,
whose home is in New Mexico, is 5
feet 11 inches tall and weighs 184
pounds.
"I've seen many great Indian play
ers in my time—but few have been the
peers of Guyon," asserts John W.
Heisman. coach of Georgia Tech.

Chicago, Oct. 24.—A plan to de
vote the gross receipts of the next
world's series to founding a perma
nent fund for baseball flayers who
have been wounded in the service of
their country was outlined to-day by
B. B. Johnson, president of the Amer
ican League.
Johnson believes the receipts of
the first world's series after *ne war
would be sufficient to build and equip
the home for the wounded soldiers
and sailors and proceeds from sub
sequent series so far as necessary
could be set aside for the mainte
nance of the institution.
The establishment, equipment and
maintenance of the proposed home
the government, according to the
plan, will be asked to handle all
moneys, the function of professional
baseball being merely to supply tlse
necessary funds through the med'um
of its world's series.
Chicago. Oct. 24.—The price cf golf
balls is to be advanced soon, and the
output for the coming year is to be
limited by the government to ' forty
per cent- of the production in 1918.
according to agents here of manu
facturers.
It is said that leading makes now j
selling at $1 each will be advanced j
to 11.25, and those of a lower grade j
will be increased accordingly.
The manager for one manufacturer j
said to-day that he had been notified
by his company to take no more or- |
ders for future delivery at present
prices, while another manufacturer's
agent said he had already been no
tified of the advance.
Comes a tale from Oklahoma
breathing the exploits of longh-.ired
Indians who slice the baseball fcr
home runs every Inning. It is re
niiscent of the story which used To
be told of W. J. Bryan's greatest
admirer. The Christian Science
Monitor recites the adventures of
this long haired gentleman:
"A man in Kansas, who made a vow
that he would never have his hair
cut until William Jennings Bryan
had been elected to the presidency,
broke his self-imposed obligation the
other day. This man had seen hair
cuts go up from fifteen cents to
twenty cents, from twenty cents to
twenty-five cents, from twenty-five
.to thirty-five cents, and 'rom thirty
five to forty-five cents, and had
never wavered in his devotion to his
political leader. But when the price
went up to half a dollar, with the
prospect of its reaching seventy-five
cents, he felt that he would be justi
fied in suspending his vow, at least
for the duration of the war. Mr.
; Bryan, who is a close observer
present price tendencies, will not
blame him. Rather will he he dis
' posed to write a pleasant autograph
letter in appreciation of the loyalty
j his supporter has d'splayel since the
evertnemorable year of '96."

Hack is now?. In a German prison
j at the city of Ruhleben, where
i Ernest Pyke, an escaped English
prisoner, saw and talked with him.
"Hackenschmidt used to weigh
i eighteen stone." said Pyke, "but
when I saw him he was a mere
shadow. He said: 'I have twenty
seven cards entitling me to twenty
seven different rations, but I can't
get any. and the only thing for me
is to eat the cards.' "
Pyke stated that 400 strikers,
who marched past the camp, were

killed by a Hun shell while leading
his unit in a charge to rescue the
"lost battalion." Says he:
"For four days and four nights his
company was part of the command
which was trying to get to Whittes
ley. On the morning of the day that
relief was effected, Eddie was so worn
out he could scarcely move. Some
of his brother officers noticed him
sitting on a stump, with a cup of j
coffee in front of him.
"On the way through the forest,
fighting at every step. Grant came

called to Grant:
" 'Take command of the battalion!"
"Eddie Grant was then one of the

without hunting cover for himself.
"He was calling and waving his

Grant was buried In Argonne For

His hnal resting place is marked by

"America is just approaching her

Cloud Climbers Will
Try to Break World's
Record on Saturday
It is probable tliat the world's
airplane altitude record for a two
man machine wil be broken next
Saturday afternoon at the monster
Army Aviation carnival at Belmont
Park, Philadelphia. The great
meet is being put on for the bene
fit of the Xational Aeronautic
Committee, by the First Provi
sional Wing of the U. S. Air Ser
vice and nothing like it has evrfr
been seen, the nearest approach
having been the Belmont Park
meet In 1910 before airplanes were
brought up to the modern degree
of perfection. The proceeds will
be usod to purchase athletic equip
ment for our aviation squadrons.
Army officers from Hazelhurst
Field, on Saturday, will attempt to
break the official record of 21,000
feet for a machine carrying pilot
and observer and also an unof
ficial record of 23,000 feet- made re
cently at Chicago, they will use
the new Loenlng monoplane, which
has been built by Grover C. Loen
ing, of New York City, and has a
speed of 14G miles an hour. It has
also flown 16,000 feet in fifteen
minutes, which is remarkably fast
time, and until just recently, some
thing unheard of. Its power plant
Is a 300-horse-power Wright Mar
,tin motor.
The record will be attempted,
carrying a full military load of
1,200 pounds, including the pilot
and observer, who will inhale
oxygen at high altitude. While
unquestionably the ship would
make a better showing with simply
the pilot alone and no military
load, the idea of Saturday's trial is
to show what can be done under
military conditions at the front. It
will be interesting for the specta
tors to watch, for the reason that
when the machine reaches its
"ceiling," that is, its highest point,
it will not be visible from the
ground. The pilot and observer
have not yet been announced,'but
will be two of the most experienced
officers in Hazlehurst Field.

a young woman obtains by the war
marriage are so alluring that only a
few resist the lure, says the paper,
adding: 'The war divorces throw a
bad light on the moral conditions in
our people. They have not been num
erous thus far, but we fear that they
will increase after the war."
According to the Cologne Gazette
seven hundred actions for divorce
were begun within a period of four
months before one court in Berlin.

! WAR LOSSES NOW
! BEING FIGURED
BY THEMHLIONS
More Russians Have Given
Lives Than Pennsylvania
Has People
| A French Atlantic Port—lt is hard ;
j for us to thtnk in millions. But we !
] Americans have to do that, now that j
we have a huge army in France. '
! Take the total population of the city '
[of Philadelphia, and you can have]
an idea of how many Frenchmen
have lost their lives in this war. M. [
Kerensky told me when he was in ]
Paris, to explain Russia's war wcari- j
ness, that more Russians had lost j
their lives in three years of war than j
the total population of the State of [
Pennsylvania. We believe that Ger- j
many's losses exceed the total popu- I
lation of New York city. And so it !
goes on.
With a million and a half Ameri- I
can soldiers in France, and hundreds j
of thousands disembarking here each j
month, it is inevitable that prob- !
lems of revictualment and of caring j
for the sick and wounded arc in- j
creasing all the time. Our military I
authorities have* been far-sighted, j
They do not intend to be caught
without ample provision for every
ne.ed. Up to the present time our
port authorities have been able to
handle all the soldiers that have
come. The organization of the Ser
vice of Supplies in the American
Expeditionary Force makes us all 1
over here feel proud of our country.
U. S. Able to Avoid Mistakes j
Naturally we have a great advan- !
tage in the three years' experience of j
I our Allies and of our enemies as !
well. We have been ajile to avoid j
( mistakes and to profit by their bitter i
! experience.
! In nothing has the experience of ;
others proved so profitable to us as
in medical and surgical matters. We '
j know what the French and British j
>1 did not know, what provision must
be made for caring for the wounded .
| during and after a battle. This has ;
been worked out like a life insurance ]
company's actuarial tables. We
know also in 1918 infinitely more
1 about first aid and military hospital |
surgery than we knew in 1914. It j
: must be a great relief to the Amer- ,|
j ican home folks to realize, that their j
boys in Frarjce are being cared for
lin the most scientific way. Lack of
! facilities and materials and ignor
ance and faulty preparation, which j
i caused scandal and suffering and :
wastage of precious human lives j
i three years ago, no longer exist in
the armies.
j But in order to meet every need, j
: the American medical service "has |
decided to evacuate constantly to j
| the United States all cases in which |
: the patient is out of the fight or j
needs long treatment. In this way j
precious hospital beds are' saved for i
! newcomers, and the services of doc-J
i tors and nurses over here are spared j
1 for new cases and for those whose i
| convalescence is rapid. We are j
' transporting so many troops to I
? France that there is plenty of room [
i to return all that can be best looked |
after in the United States. This Is j
' going to spare, also, mothers and
! wives from" the anguish of separation i
; during long periods of illness, and I
I it is going to give the patients whose j
I cure is tedious the moral aid of be- i
' lng at home and near loved ones.
[ So this port sees frequently sol- J
diers homeward bound. One could
write graphically of the scenes here
as they go aboard ship and as an
chor is weighed. But soon all over
the United States the casualty lists
and the returned heroes will tell the !
story more poignantly ,than one ;
could write it. And it is instinctive
to wish to draw the veil on suffering. "
Wouiulcd Men Happy <
But our boys are so full of spirit,
so wonderful in the glory of the sac
rifice they have made, that the con
voys homeward bound do not give
one the impression of broken hu
manity. One is not deceived. It is
not a stream of broken humanity
that is returning to the United
States. The boys are happy and gay,
and I can testify from intimpte con
tact with them that the gayety is
not forced. It is no bluff, no camou
flage. Astounding is the resiliancy
of youth. Nothing is a calamity, no
injury is crushing. Hope and life
and hiyUth ape left in most cases.
And in all cases there is the feeling
of a task fulfilled, of a sacrifice
made, for a good and lasting pur
pose. Only would there be regret, |
if all the others returned without
the victory. It is because those
homeward bound feel that their
comrades are well on the way to vic
tory that they are cheerful and rec
onciled to their own sacrifice.
